The exhibition is called
Crazy Hyperculture in the Vertigo of the World.
It was created by the contemporary visual artist
Ernest Neto
The pictures don’t begin to do it justice. It was amazing to experience. 
All of the work was done by hand. Since Neto is Brazillian, most of it was made there.
Neto’s work has been described as "beyond abstract minimalism". His installations are large, soft, biomorphic sculptures that fill an exhibition space that viewers can touch, poke, and even sometimes walk on or through.
The Puerto Madero building hosting the Arts Center in Dam 3 was formerly a busy flourmill producing up to a thousand tons of ground wheat a day during the 1900s. It was abandoned for many years, however, it still retains the basic elements of its early 20th-century industrial architecture.
The exhibition space, located in the old engine room of this iconic building and covering 4,000 square meters, has been renovated by a group that has respected the building's original style: high ceilings, period details, bay windows and semicircular arches - all common elements of industrial architecture in 1900.
Neto designed a hanging sculpture made of crochet-woven fabric stuffed with thousands of plastic balls that has the proportions of a cathedral.
You can tell from the pictures that hardly anyone was there. Docents give a tour every hour, which is basically a little history of the artist, including how this work was made. We also learned about some of his other works on display in other parts of the world. Anyway, Doug and I were the only ones on the tour. In fairness, the exhibition has been up since September and will only be on display for another couple of weeks in Buenos Aires.
It was Fabulous!
